7 0

The correct answer for this question would be option A. When the thermal energy in a hot iron flows into a shirt, what we can possibly say about this situation is that, the iron is warmer than the shirt. The transfer of heat from the iron to the shirt is called heat conduction. Hope this answer helps.

Answer:

a) The hot iron is warmer than the shirt.

Explanation:

Thermal energy always flows from a hot object to a cold object.

This process is similar to water flowing from a higher level to a lower level.

In the given question, since the iron is hot, it has greater thermal energy compared to the shirt. So heat flow is from the hot iron to the shirt.

( like during the ironing of a shirt).

Does mechanical advantage have units? Explain your answer.

motikmotik

Answer:

The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load (the resistance overcome by a machine) to the effort (the force applied). For an ideal (without friction) mechanism, it is also equal to: There is no unit for mechanical advantages since the unit for both input and output forces cancel out.

Distinguish between basic and derived units

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Base units are defined units based on specific objects or events in the physical world. Derived units are defined by combining base units.

Base units are defined by a particular process of measuring a base quantity whereas derived units are defined as algebraic combinations of base units. For example, length is a base quantity in both SI and the English system, but the meter is a base unit in the SI system only.

If a water wave completes one cycle in 2 seconds, what is

Novay_Z [31]

The period of a wave is the time it takes the wave to complete one cycle (at a fixed location).

So if a wave completes one cycle in <em>2 seconds</em>, then that is its period.

n ultraviolet light beam having a wavelength of 130 nm is incident on a molybdenum surface with a work function of 4.2 eV. How f

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the ultraviolet light beam, λ = 130 nm = 130 x 10⁻⁹ m

the work function of the molybdenum surface, W₀ = 4.2 eV = 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of the incident light is given by;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

f = c / λ

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{130*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 15.291*10^{-19} \ J$

Photo electric effect equation is given by;

E = W₀ + K.E

Where;

K.E is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron

K.E = E - W₀

K.E = 15.291 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E = 8.563 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy of the emitted electron is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is mass of the electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v is the speed of the electron

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2*8.563*10^{-19}}{9.11*10^{-31}}}\\\\v = 1.371 *10^{6} \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.
